Our 2017 Family Bucket List

January 9, 2017

Have you ever made a wish list before and then not really done anything with it? Full of great ideas, dreams and intentions only for day to day life to take over and another year gone by without ticking anything off? This year I’ve taken a different approach and we have created a family wish jar. Everyone has chosen activities that they would like to do throughout the year and we now have a fantastic list, our family bucket list, which I can’t wait to get started on!

Our 2017 Family Bucket List

Go to Lego Land

Pick our own strawberries at a PYO fruit farm

Go on a bike ride all together – somehwere like Grapham water

Bake brownies

Have a family holiday abroad

Go on a camping/glamping trip

Toast marshmallows

Watch a sunrise and a sunset together

Visit Centre Parcs

Have a night away with no kids

Visit a new place

Go sledging (if we don’t have snow, go sledging at Xscape)

Tale the boys to see a musical

Go to the cinema as a family (Ava to have her first cinema trip)

Pick our own christmas tree at a christmas tree farm

Surf

Go to a festival

Climb a hill

Go for a pancake breakfast

See a pantomime

Have a movie night with popcorn and treats

Spend a day at the country park with a picnic

Look at the stars in the night sky and spot the constellations, maybe even a shooting star

Go on a boat

Bowling all together

Take Ava to a sea life centre

Have a spa day

Go to a new swimming pool or waterpark

Visit the Science museum

Have afternoon tea

Visit a new National Trust place

At the end of each month I’m going to come back to our family bucket list and see what we can cross off creating a blog post to keep track of it all. I’m also going to use it to help us plan and budget for activities throughout the year.

Not made a family bucket list for this year? Why not use some of these ideas to make your own. Have fun!

That’s quite a list and some great stuff there, hope you get around to most of it. Lego land is great fun but make sure you get an express ticket to skip the lines, we went ages back and spent most of the day queuing up so definitely going to get an express pass next time to skip them.
